actress are they that good

She'd have to be not only a great actress, but the girlfriend's identical twin-- and psychic, too. There's no way an actress could step into somebody's life and continue all of the ongoing conversations, routines, personal jokes and intimacies et cetera between two people.
The only way this could be pulled off would be to fake a serious accident that resulted in some measure of brain damage to account for her lack of knowledge and enough physical damage that bandages and plastic surgery would account for physical differences.

dude, if you're writing, use spelling and grammer! They aren't expensive.
Who is doing the replacing, the man or the kidnappers? Why? There also has to be a very strong physical resemblance if she's going to be seen up really close. And how far does she go with her 'boyfriend'? Who's in on it? Ask yourself a bunch of questions, and figure out how much the story needs it.
Fixed that for you. Mind you, not very well, but it's okay.

Strnagely enough, I have just watched an episode of Dawn French's Murder Most Horrid which had a similar story. In this episode titled Mrs Hat and Mrs Red, a poor woman (Mrs Hat) notices that a rich woman (Mrs Red who is making a scene in a supermarket) is the spitting image of her.
Mrs Hat becomes curious and follows Mrs Red home. looking through the window she sees Mrs Red burning a photo album and writing a note. Then Mrs red leavesd the house. Mrs Hat climbs in the window and starts looking around. The note states that Mrs Red is leaving her husband.
Mrs Hat ends up having a bath when Mrs Red's husband comes home. He walks into the bathroom but doesn't realise the woman isn't his wife.
Mrs Red was a really awful woman so when she has a drastic change in personality ,and becomes a much nicer person, her husband and daughter don't worry about certain odd behaviour.
Won't say how the episode ends (it is up on You Tube if you want to find out).

If it were only a casual girlfriend...like, several dates...it is within the realm of plausibility, for the sake of a story, that the appropriate actress could take over the "role." But since she wouldn't be all that close to him, we must wonder why this scheme would be useful...and if the girlfriend were closer, it becomes much harder to believe that an actress could pull off the impersonation.
It's another big wrinkle that the "original" must be taken out of the equation for a while, too.

If he is writing for his own pleasure does it really matter if his spelling and grammar aren't perfect?
Grammar always matters. It is the only thing that sustains me. Where is my red pen when I need it?
(Oh wait, you're not supposed to use red pens anymore. It's damaging to the childrens' morale.

When my teacher friend told me that I almost fell over. Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Maybe we should stop correcting them altogether. After all, telling someone they made a mistake could be seen as negative!

No joke. In the UK teachers are encouraged to talk about "deferred success" rather than "failure" in case it damages the child. This in a country that is hurtling down the educational league tables of the "developed" world to join the US somewhere near the bottom.
My wife is a teacher and she's not even allowed to say "I'm warning you!" to a child because that constitutes a threat. (Of course it constitutes a bloody threat! Why else would she say it???)

Then for your "pleasure" I will re-post something that I posted here a few months ago. It is a comment that appeared on my local newspaper's website written by my fellow Tasmanian, Shane K (King)
Compared to that drychlick has almost perfect grammar and spelling.
Sadly I was actually able to undertand what Shane K wrote.
hoist by me own petard! Uhh, I mean, my petard!

Because your English here?
Not so good.
I think the plan is to write the story on his phone and text message it to his publisher.

Well. I'm sure that will go over well.
